More quotes by Douglas Coupland
With the first drink comes the truth, with the second drink comes wishful thinking, and with the third drink come the lies.
Douglas Coupland
It's starts out young- you try not be different just to survive- you try to be just like everyone else- anonymity becomes reflexive- and then one day you wake up and you've become all those other people- the others- the something you aren't. And you wonder if you can ever be what it is you really are. Or you wonder if it's too late to find out.
Douglas Coupland
Happy. And then I got afraid that it would vanish as quickly as it came. That it was accidental-- that I didn't deserve it. It's like this very, very nice car crash that never ends.
Douglas Coupland
Here's my theory about meetings and life: the three things you can't fake are erections, competence and creativity.
Douglas Coupland
The only way to the top is killing and greed. Okay, I'm kidding. But killing helps.
Douglas Coupland
Figure out what it is in life you don't do well, and then don't do it.
Douglas Coupland
And any small moments of intense, flaring beauty such as this morning's will be utterly forgotten, dissolved by time like a super-8 film left out in the rain, without sound, and quickly replaced by thousands of silently growing trees.
Douglas Coupland
How can I be a part of the 1960s generation when I don't even remember any of it?
Douglas Coupland
I think we're simply going to run out of Nature before we have a chance to destroy it.
Douglas Coupland
You've seen what you've seen you've felt what you've felt. Ideology is for people who don't trust their own experiences and perceptions of the world.
Douglas Coupland
If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween.
Douglas Coupland
And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened.
Douglas Coupland
We want our idols to be dead because it makes death a much less scary place.
Douglas Coupland
I think individual people are interesting, not really groups of people.
Douglas Coupland
People who advocate simplicity have money in the bank the money came first, not the simplicity.
Douglas Coupland
Do you remember how you felt at seventeen? I do and I don't (...) Imagine you came from outer space and someone showed you a butterfly and a caterpillar. Would you ever put the two of them together? That's me and my memories.
Douglas Coupland
People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.
Douglas Coupland
It'd be preposterous for me to propose a universal cure to loneliness but I will say that people who do the things they find interesting, either creatively or vocationally, tend to become unlonely very quickly.
Douglas Coupland
Blame is just a lazy person's way of making sense of chaos.

In our heads we're all about 33 years old.
